Will it be Han Ji-min or Sung Yuri for MBC’s Monster?
by javabeans
Ah, finally news of a potential leading lady for Monster, the revengey melo starring Kang Ji-hwan whose life is trampled by the super elite and who then sets out for payback. News has surfaced simultaneously that both Han Ji-min (Hyde Jekyll Me, Rooftop Prince) and Sung Yuri (Birth Secret, Feast of the Gods) are in contention, though both sides are very clear that they’re just considering.
Aside from the super awkwardness of courting two actresses publicly (who thought of that idea, and are they still employed?), I have to say I could get behind either pairing purely based on their prior outings with Kang Ji-hwan. (In fact, I even wonder if the drama went fishing for leading ladies specifically in his pool of former co-stars, to ensure a decent partnership. Was Kim Haneul busy?)
Of the two, I have to give Han Ji-min the edge for her acting skills, and she was adorable in her previous team-up with Kang, 2007’s Occupation-era rom-com-melo Capital Scandal. But while Sung Yuri is very hit or miss for me, I have a super soft spot for her tomboyish turn in 2008’s fantasy comic-action sageuk Hong Gil Dong, where she was likable and endearing in a way I’d never seen before or since. Plus, she and Kang Ji-hwan were very cute together there (they reteamed for the comedy movie Runway Cop a few years after that)… although maybe Kang Ji-hwan had better romantic chemistry with Han in Capital Scandal? Ahh, I can’t be rational about Hong Gil Dong though, it was silly and flawed but I loved the hero so.
Also in Monster’s cast are Park Ki-woong, Lee El, Jung Woong-in, Lee Deok-hwa, Park Young-kyu, and Go Yoon. Monster plans to begin filming its early scenes with its child actors later this week; it follows Dazzling Temptation as MBC’s next Monday-Tuesday drama beginning in March.

Well I vote for Han Ji Min because she is not at all my favourite actress and I won't be watching this anyway. I still cry inside when I think about how much worse she made Hyde, Jekyll and Me, so I'd rather she gets put to work in a 50ep drama so she doesn't take one (or 2) of the dramas I actually want to watch.

Han Ji-min is the better actress, but I don't always manage to connect with her so she can be quite hit-or-miss for me. She was super cute in Rooftop Prince, though, so many if she can tap into some of that...
Sung Yuri isn't as decent an actress, but I tend to be more drawn to her characters and I've always found her very likable, even if the drama itself makes me want to pull my hair out. (One Fine Day, whyyyyy???)
So I don't know. I'd really be okay with either actress, but I have a soft spot for Sung Yuri...

I never actually watched Sung Yuri in any drama (well probably in bits), but seeing Han Ji Min in Rooftop Prince and Hyde Jekyll Me, I wish it's Sung Yuri.
HJM was too aloof and I didn't find connection to her characters.
Either way whoever works with Kang Ji Hwan is lucky and I could picture Monster as super-melo super-makjang drama.

Maybe it's a recency problem, but I can't get past Han Ji-min's godawful acting in HJM. She was blank as a newly painted wall and Hyun Bin had acted circles, triangles, quadrilaterals around her. Taking on a 50 episoder where powerful acting and charismatic presence is a must... I'd feel bad for those who'd watch. But then again, it won't be me since I'm meh on this drama.
I haven't seen a single thing Sung Yuri has been on, so I've got no impressions on her. Though it seems she's used to the longer dramas and this will be her comfort ground. *shrugs* it's a toss up, really. It's still super awkward and a little unprofessional to be courting two actresses publicly like that.

Han Ji-min isn't what I'd call talented, but she's good enough when she has something to work with. I normally find her bland, but she was pretty good in The Fatal Encounter (ironically, that movie also starred Hyun Bin)
And I don't know if it's fair to write her off completely because of such a terrible drama, I mean, Hyeri turned in a fairly decent performance in Answer Me 1988 after being written off completely for starring in it, so it's definitely a Hyde Jekyll problem, and I extend the benefit of the doubt to all the actors as victims of bad writing and directing.
Required fields are marked *
Mandy
February 3, 2016 at 8:30 AM
I wouldn't take Hyeri as an example because her role was hardly existent. It was mainly to be 'cute' but I'd say it was a useless character that added nothing to HJM. She then starred in the Answer Me series which is known to miraculously bring life to actresses who can't act. Go Ara would be testament to that.
Han Ji-min was the female lead in HJM, and while the drama is terrible, that doesn't mean everyone in it was. Hyun Bin was great in anchoring a nonsensical plot and making up for his leading lady. Sung Joon had some good emotional moments and even the personal assistant had fun comic timing. Han Ji-min was a pain to watch though. And to me, no script or director can be completely blamed for what an actor/actress brings on screen. I don't see it as a Hyde problem, it was much much more her instead.
But she's been decent in selected roles in the past so she might do well here. Who knows.

February 3, 2016 at 9:22 AM
You're not wrong about that (Hyeri's role/the Answer Me franchise), but I'm just saying, reactions to Hyeri as an actress both in Korea and internationally, were most certainly coloured by Hyde and virtually no one was willing to consider that a good part of it was the fault of the drama.
I also agree that a good enough actor can bring at least something to the table even when the script hobbles them (The Drama That Must Not Be Named is evidence of this - utterly nonsensical story and badly written characters, but Lee Jong-seok, Park Hae-jin and Kang Sora still tried their damnedest to sell it, and almost succeeded). But hopefully the script won't be a problem here since it's by the same writer/PD who did Giant, and if anyone has a handle on how to do long-form dramas, it's them.

Mandy
February 3, 2016 at 10:26 AM
Hmm, I wouldn't really take Lee Jong-suk as an example of that either but that's a discussion for a different day.
Ultimately, I agree that Han Ji-min can probably bring out a decent performance with the help of a good script. And I'm personally a fan of the writer's work - not just Giant but also Empress Ki. So if she ends up doing this (and I'm not even sure at this point if its up for her to decide or the production), then it might give her a clean slate from Hyde.
pogo
February 3, 2016 at 2:30 PM
@Mandy - re: LJS, I personally don't find him attractive but I have to acknowledge that he didn't throw in the towel when it was evident the script of DS was shit (the weekly Surgery Olympics, all the spy crap). I'll never get those 20 hours of my life back but it did leave me with a renewed appreciation for 3 out of 4 leads.
And anyway our discussions about Han Ji-min are moot, since apparently Sung Yuri is confirmed for the role. I hope to god that magic works on her, because at least Hwang Jung-eum had something by way of raw talent at the start of her career - with Sung Yuri, that isn't quite the case and I just hope they write her a role that suits her.
Mandy
February 3, 2016 at 6:06 PM
Regarding LJS - I'd say the last straw that broke the camel's back for me was unfortunately DS. I'll be honest and say he's never appealed to me, both in looks and his acting. But he was never a reason for me to not watch a drama until DS happened and I was so done. Park Hae-jin and Kang Sora, I'm with you. They made something out of it, but I'm not sure I can agree with LJS. I guess its all preference in the end of the day.
And yep, Sung Yuri is confirmed and since I've never seen her in anything, I've got nothing to say. Although I can't imagine she'd be worse than HJE - who in my books is simply intolerable. But I think we've discussed this before (?) and had contrasting opinions on it too. Either way, I hope it works out, even if just for Park Ki-woong who I adore.

I kinda hope Jo Boa stays out of this one, I would prefer if she doesn't have to be stuck for 6+ months attached to a project where she plays second lead to someone far inferior to her, acting skills-wise.
Of the two in contention here, Han Ji-min is hands down the better actress, as long as she has something to work with. I'm not a fan but I can admit that much.
(and really, it's ridiculous that no one here is writing off Hyun Bin for that godawful waste of footage drama he starred in last year or even Sung Joon for that bland excuse of a performance, but instead it's Han Ji-min and Hyeri who got metaphorically tarred and feathered for having the misfortune to get bad roles in a terrible drama)

Oh well. Just have to keep reminding myself I'm watching for Jung Bo-seok and the other veterans lol.

The Han Ji-min of Resurrection had a great writer and a fantastic lead actor in Uhm Force.
I think she will be ok with these capable writers but she'll have to pull her own weight because Kang Ji-hwan is no Uhm Force or Lee Beom-Soo.
I've only seen a few of Sung Yuri's earlier dramas and she was pretty bad so I tried to avoid her.
Hwang Jung-Eum improved a lot in Giant, better than I expected so they might work their magic with Sung Yuri too. If she doesn't do well here than I'd avoid her forever lol.
If she has improved like Honey Lee than I think she'll be more than ok.
Honey Lee kept improving and she was pretty good in Shine or Go Crazy. I can see her in this role.
I am most excited to see the fantastic Jung Bo-seok again in a project with this writer.
I wonder if Kim Seo-Hyung will join the cast? I like her and she is a regular with this writer.

February 3, 2016 at 12:29 PM
Oh lordy. I guess we'll just have to hope for the best--the leads really aren't turning out this time (like you said, Kang Ji-hwan is no Uhm Force), though considering a few weeks ago we were looking at Seo Kang-joon as the hero, I think we've traded up a little lol. We'll just have to rely on the side cast to shore up the leads' performances and hope this PD does okay. This is not going to be Giant 2.0, but it can still be decent if the writers step it up.
If Kim Seo-hyung could come back that would be cool--it'd be like a Giant reunion, with her, Lee Deok-hwa, and Jung Bo-seok, although a lot of the people that made that drama great are missing, sadly (including the PD). So far the only older woman they've cast is Kim Bo-hyun, I think.
It is true that Hwang Jung-eum did well in Giant (the performance of her life probably lol), but she really backslid in Incarnation of Money. I can't say I'm sad she passed on this, even if it means we're stuck with Sung Yuri. Now that you mention her I wish we could magically swap these two out for Honey Lee lol. I agree that she's getting pretty good, and there's just something so likable about her.

February 3, 2016 at 5:32 PM

@kiara. What, Jung Kyung-soon isn't doing it this time, either?! I could be wrong but I always thought she and Jang Young-cheol were married. Not sure why. Oh well, I guess we'll find out what she brought to the table now lol.
And yeah, the absence of Yoo In-sik is a huge blow imo. The writers are pretty uneven--there are some things I love about them, and some things that drive me nuts--but YIS was always able to bring the whole thing together into some kind of cohesive vision. I haven't seen any of this PD's work so I'll withhold judgement, but I can say it'll be hard to fill his shoes.
@sera. Yeah the veterans are totally going to steal the show! Jung Bo-seok fangirl here lol.

@Kiara, I really want to see three of them in high scale drama like this, even supporting casts as long as the character has significance will do.
Giant have a solid story and solid casts especially the male casts, Empress Ki despite of quite a mess story had pretty solid casts. I am expecting the casts in Monster (I still rooting for Tyrant as a title, lol) are pretty solid too, even I do feel that veteran and supporting characters gonna steal the show.

While I like both of them and I find both of them quite lacking, I always love Sung Yuri more. She's likeable in her roles. She tried very hard in her craft to be better actress. She came into this business for her looks and she didnt have the talents for it. After her singing career ended she worked very hard to stay afloat as an actor. But like many idols these days, you have to work multiple fields to make the dough.
Ha ji min is ok. I think she's a bit overrated but from someone who came from acting school, I expected more of her but sadly never really deliver.

Avoid HJM. Don't even go watching it. You'll waste time and just get frustrated at the lame and poorly written script. The writer introduced a third personality called Terry for 3 seconds. And then after those 3 seconds, we never heard from Terry ever again. It's like, he never existed. No character developments. Second lead girl was very useless and her cute acting was annoying af. Main lead girl couldn't act and was very bland. The drama overall is a blackhole that sucks out all life and forms.

I think it's safe to skip. The drama had great potential but the writer dragged the story and the main pairing out in a strange and rather frustrating way.
If you want to check out Hyun Bin's work you could always try Secret Garden which is a favorite. (Personally, I prefer World's Within. However this drama seems to be a hit or miss among drama watchers. It was a hit for me, lol.)

OMO Sung Yuri is finally back. :) Long Live The Korean Fairy really looking forward to seeing her back in action. Don't care what others have said I have always loved her in the shows that I got to watch her though I haven't watched all of them.
If you really want to see her in action I would recommend The Snow Queen she was great in that. I who normally just watch the drama for the drama was actually so moved by the story and acting that to my surprise I ended up crying at times during it.
Hong Gill Dong is another show that I enjoyed had its serious moments as well as comedy in them as well.
Feast Of The Gods was okay there were times when I felt that it was a bit slow but that was to be expected when said show had like 30+ episodes. Couldn't watch her next show so no comment on that.
If you want to watch her just for acting cute then perhaps give Romance Town a shot.
Can't comment on any of her other work as for the other actress haven't watched anything she has been in apart from Rooftop Prince and she was quite nice in that but one can't judge a person on just one work will have to watch some other things with her in it to make a favorable comparison

One of the few times I really have to disagree w/ JV.
Sung Yuri's acting in HGD was just plain AWFUL (at the level where it was laughably bad); she wasn't exactly helped by the writing either (a bleh effort from the Hong sisters - which seems to be more the norm these days).
Kim Ri-na, who played the romantic rival, was more interesting and the better actress (and also more striking looking); seems to have stopped working for a while and just recently started up again (most recently appearing in "Bubblegum").
